Clare Court Care Home, Birmingham

The staff at our nursing home in Birmingham come from a range of backgrounds and cultures, meaning our teams speak a plethora of languages including Urdu, Punjabi, Mirpuri, French, Polish and Russian. We celebrate the contributions of each and every community from which we draw, and our care teams also reflect this rich Asian, Caribbean and European cultural heritage. Our outreach into these communities is a strong feature of life at our Birmingham care home, for example our Sikh residents enjoy visits from the local Guru Nanak temple in Smethwick.

Our large, comfortable lounge and dining areas are perfect for socialising and joining in with activities, but if you prefer to relax in a more peaceful space, we also have designated quiet areas. All bedrooms at Clare Court Care Home come fully furnished with walk-in showers. Residents are encouraged to decorate their space with personal items, keepsakes, and mementos to ensure they settle into the home environment as easily as possible.

We feel that being part of our local Birmingham community is an important factor for our residents. We believe it anchors us to the wider community, which in effect can lead to our residents having a fulfilled and well-rounded quality of life. You’ll often find us visiting local venues such as nearby community clubs, the park and sometimes even a local pub for lunch. Residents and staff alike love the buzz of Dudley Road, with its rich variety of independent shops and wide selection of pubs, restaurants and cafes.

Clare Court Care Home often welcomes visiting speakers from local interest groups, who come and deliver talks on a range of subjects and entertain our residents. As part of the ‘Avery ReConnect Programme’, we are developing the use of poetry sessions, utilising audio books and local artists to deliver poetry in a variety of dialects from Welsh, ‘Brummie’ to Patois. Local poets such as Ita Gooden, from the Caribbean community, have been recent visitors to the home to support our work – check out our Facebook page for updates on these exciting events.
